DESCRIPTION
Select the operating mode from the drop-down list. The options are Access Point,
Wireless Client, Bridge and AP+Repeater.
Wireless stations associating to the access point (AP) must have the same SSID.
Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 printable characters) for the wireless LAN.
Spaces are allowed.
Note: If you are configuring the device from a computer connected
to the wireless LAN and you change the device's SSID,
channel or security settings, you will lose your wireless
connection when you click Apply to save your settings. You
must then change the wireless settings of your computer to
match the device's new settings.
Select 802.11b only to allow only IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the device.
Select 802.11g only to allow only IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the device.
Select Auto (11g/11b) to allow either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compliant
WLAN devices to associate with the device. The transmission rate of your device
might be reduced.
Turn on the wireless adapter to allow wireless communications between the device
and other IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g compliant wireless devices. Turn off
the wireless adapter to stop wireless communications between the device and
other IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g compliant wireless devices.
Set the output power of the device in this field. If there is a high density of APs
within an area, decrease the output power of the device to reduce interference with
other APs.
The options are Full, 50%, 25%, 12% and Min.
Use this field to select a maximum data rate for the wireless connection(s). Please
note that this is a total rate to be shared by all of the device's wireless connections.
Preamble is used to signal that data is coming to the receiver.
Short preamble increases performance as less time sending preamble means
more time for sending data. All IEEE 802.11b compliant wireless adapters support
long preamble, but not all support short preamble.
Select Long preamble if you are unsure what preamble mode the wireless
adapters support, and to provide more reliable communications in busy wireless
networks.
Select Short preamble if you are sure the wireless adapters support it, and to
provide more efficient communications.
Select Auto to have the device automatically use short preamble when all wireless
clients support it, otherwise the device uses long preamble.
Note: The device and the wireless stations MUST use the same
preamble mode in order to communicate.
Super-G mode provides higher speed transmissions than regular IEEE 802.11g.
The other device must also support super-G mode in order for the device to use it
for the wireless connection. This is available when you select a Wireless Mode
that includes IEEE 802.11g.
